3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE?Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of aworkout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training approach toexercise.

Zone Training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning a higher percentage of calories fromfat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), and its valuedepends on the workout. The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike features five exclusive workouts designed to take fulladvantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training exercise:

• FAT BURN • HEART RATE HILL • EXTREME HEART RATE• CARDIO • HEART RATE INTERVAL

Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, The Workouts.

NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.

The Heart Rate Zone Training workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the optional telemetry chest strap, or grip theLifepulse sensors, to enable the bike’s on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computerautomatically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart rate.

To change the target heart rate* during a workout, simply enter a new target heart rate by typing in the desired numberon the numeric keypad or by pressing the Heart Rate button on the Touchscreen.

To switch between programs during a workout, use the CHANGE WORKOUT button.


* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 per-cent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.

17

3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING

THE LIFEPULSETM DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITORING SYSTEM

The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system. For the most accurate reading pos-sible, during a workout:

• Grasp the sensors (A) on the armrests or handlebars firmly.

• Hold each sensor at the horizontal or vertical midpoint.

• Keep hands steady and in place.

The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. The following factors mayaffect a Lifepulse reading: incorrect hand placement on the sensors, upper body activity, lotion or dirt on hands, andexcessive or insufficient pressure used when gripping the sensors

A

A

A

A

A

Grasp the sensors that are located on either the armrests or the side handlebars of the Recumbent Lifecycle ExerciseBike.

Grasp two of the four sensors (A), on opposing sides, that are set into the handlebars of the Upright Lifecycle ExerciseBike.

THE OPTIONAL HEART RATE CHEST STRAP

The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike is equipped with Polar® telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which elec-trodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the bike console. These electrodes are attached to a cheststrap that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap is optional. To order, call Life Fitness Customer SupportServices (refer to page 1 for contact information).

See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces onthe underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiv-er. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should besnug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.

The transmitter strap delivers the most accurate heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bareskin. However, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.

If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from thechest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them.

NOTE: If the Lifepulse system sensors are grasped while the chest strap is worn, and if the signals from the sensorsare valid, the on-board computer uses the sensor signals for measuring the heart rate instead of those transmitted withthe chest strap.

4 THE WORKOUTS4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWSThe following workouts are preprogrammed for the Inspire LCD console on the 95C and 95R Lifecycle Exercise Bikes.

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting a specific workoutprogram. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a constant level workout begins. The intensity level does not changeautomatically. To change the level, use the LEVEL ARROW keys or the NUMERIC KEYPAD to enter a higher or lowerlevel number. After the workout has been in progress for one minute, the touchscreen displays “ENTER WEIGHT FORMETS DISPLAY”. Press this button and use the numeric keypad or the UP and DOWN arrows to enter weight. Weightmust be entered for METs to be computed and displayed.

CLASSIC WORKOUTS

CLASSIC workouts are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workoutsmay be accessed with this button:

MANUAL is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time.

RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern orprogression.

HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods oflower-intensity exercise.

AEROBICS is a workout that prompts the user to switch continuously between high and low pedaling speeds. Thespeed intervals alternate in a pattern that promotes a build-up in the intensity of the workout, followed by a build-down in intensity.

HEART RATE + WORKOUTS

HEART RATE + workouts are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The followingworkouts may be accessed with this button:

FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of calories from fat. The user must wear aheart rate chest strap or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout program automaticallyadjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoreticalmaximum†. CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total caloriesburned. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. Theworkout program automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at80 percent of the theoretical maximum†. HEART RATE HILL takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart rate*. The user wears aheart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously.HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate*. The user wearsa heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously.EXTREME HEART RATE is an intense workout for more experienced users. It is designed to get the heart rateup and down as quickly as possible. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensorscontinuously.


* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user’s recommended THR for the HEART RATE HILL and HEART RATE INTER-VAL workouts is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

20

HILL + WORKOUTS

HILL + are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workouts may beaccessed with this button:

AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographicalareas.FOOTHILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.KILIMANJARO is a hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and thengradually decline.CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.

Each workout buttonincludes a listing of workout programs or an easy to understand description of the workout. Once a workout is selected,the corresponding Workout Setup Screens which include goal type (time, distance, calories, and pace), level, age,weight, distance, and target heart rate* will appear. Press ENTER after each selection to record it. After values are set,the Workout Progress Screen appears and the workout begins.

See Section 4.3 for detailed information on available workouts.

3) ENTERING WORKOUT GOALS

SELECTING A GOAL TYPE

Goal Type defaults to TIME (length of workout). When prompted to enter a Goal Time, use the illuminated ARROWKEYS to increase or decrease the displayed time to the desired value, or key in the desired value with the NUMERICKEYPAD, and press ENTER.Workouts can be programmed to target advanced goals other than the default time goal:

• DISTANCE• CALORIES• PACE• TIME IN ZONE (for heart rate workouts only)

The Distance Goal feature is designed to build endurance. The user sets a distance goal during the workout setup.Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase and ends afterward. To use this feature:

1. Select a workout. 2. In the Goal Type setup screen, choose DISTANCE, enter the desired distance goal, and select ENTER.3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.4. Begin the workout.

The Calories Goal feature is designed to promote weight loss and weight control. The user sets a calorie goal duringthe workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase and ends afterward. Touse this feature:

1. Select a workout.2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose CALORIES, enter the desired calorie goal, and select ENTER.3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.4. Begin the workout.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percentof the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117

22

The Pace Goal feature is designed to allow the user to set the pace of a workout. The user sets a pace goal during theworkout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase and ends afterward. A pacereadout is displayed at the left of the screen showing numeric feedback regarding the user’s progress relating to theselected pace. To use this feature:

1. Select a workout.2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose MORE, select PACE, enter the desired pace goal, and select ENTER.3. For Units, choose either ENGLISH (to set a pace speed in miles/time) or METRIC (to set a pace speed in

kilometers/time).4. Enter the distance and time of the workout.5. The console will calculate the pace the user must maintain to finish the workout in the desired time.6. Select ENTER to approve the displayed pace or reenter the chosen time and distance.7. Begin the workout.

The Time in Zone Goal program enhances a workout by setting a certain duration within the target heart rate* as aworkout goal. The program automatically alters the resistance to maintain a pace that will meet that objective within thatduration. Once the objective is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase. To use the Time In ZoneGoal feature:

1. Select a workout.

2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose TIME IN ZONE (some workouts require the user to choose the MORE optionfirst), enter the desired amount of time, and select ENTER.

3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.

4. Begin the workout.

NOTE: Time in Zone is directly correlated to fitness level. Since the program will continue to increase resistance until thegoal is met, it may be wise to start low and work towards a higher goal. Choose COOL DOWN at any time, to exit theworkout and immediately enter a cool down phase. For help setting TIME IN ZONE goals, consult a personal trainer. Formore information on Heart Rate Zone Training, see Section 3.1 titled Why Heart Rate Zone Training?

INTENSITY LEVEL

The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike provides several different ways to adjust the resistance level of a workout. Whenprompted, use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed resistance level or target heart rate* to thedesired value, or choose the desired value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER. Adjust the level as neededor desired during the workout.

• Resistance level: The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike provides a selection of 25 resistance levels (26 levelswith optional external power supply). The resistance level appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rowsof lights arranged in columns. Selecting a low intensity level at first is recommended. As physical conditioningimproves, the levels can increase.

TARGET HEART RATE

• Target heart rate: Programs that calculate a target heart rate* base this number on the age of the user and thetype of workout. The user accepts or adjusts the rate when setting up the workout. During the workout itself, theprogram reads the heart rate, which is transmitted via the Polar heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse systemsensors; and it uses this data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate, by pressing the HEART RATEbutton on the CONTROL PANEL and typing the desired number with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, increases theintensity of the cardiovascular exercise.


23

4) ENTERING WORKOUT VALUES

AGE: When prompted to enter Age, use the illuminated ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed age to thecorrect value, or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER. Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike workout programs that set a target heart rate* zone first calculate the user’s theoreti-cal maximum heart rate† by subtracting the user’s age from the number 220. The programs then calculate the targetzone as a percentage of the theoretical maximum.

WEIGHT: In order for METs to be displayed, an accurate weight must be entered.

GENDER: Select gender and press ENTER. (Used for the Fit Test.)

5) SELECTING A WORKOUT MODE

To change modes, press the CHANGE WORKOUT key and then press CHANGE MODE. • Bike Mode: This workout mode simulates the experience of riding a real bicycle. The rate of calories burned

and total distance travelled increase as the user increases the pedaling speed. This mode can be used with allworkouts, except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREMEHEART RATE.

• Constant-Calories-Per-Hour Mode: This workout mode enables a user to maintain a consistent rate of caloriesburned per hour. As the pedaling speed increases, the resistance level automatically decreases. As the pedalingspeed decreases, the resistance level automatically increases. This mode can be used with all workouts.

If the user selects a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATEworkout during the setup, the default mode is Constant-Calories-Per-Hour. For all other workouts, the default mode isBike. The user may select or change a mode during a workout setup or during a workout.

• Marathon Mode. A Marathon Mode button will appear in the time entry screen when configuring a workout.Selecting Marathon Mode sets the workout to an unlimited time workout. The workout can then be ended onlyby the user.

6) CHANGING/ENDING A WORKOUT

SWITCHING WORKOUTS “ON-THE-FLY”

It is possible during a workout, to switch to another workout program. After a switch, the console retains all the progressinformation about the workout since its beginning. To change workouts “on the fly,” simply press CHANGE WORKOUTand then choose a new workout. To switch to a new workout, and restart the progress information, choose CHANGEWORKOUT and then RESET.

PAUSING WORKOUTS

There are two ways a user can pause a workout: press the PAUSE key or stop pedaling. If a user presses the PAUSEkey, a RESUME WORKOUT button and EXIT button appear on the Touchscreen. Continue the workout by selectingRESUME. The pause duration is set to one minute. After one minute in pause mode, the paused workout exits to theworkout summary screen. From pause mode, the user can end the workout by selecting EXIT. The user may stop pedal-ing to pause a workout. To continue a workout, the user must resume pedaling within the one minute pause duration.



ENDING WORKOUTS EARLY

To end a workout early, press COOL DOWN on the Control Panel. The COOL DOWN button changes into an ENDWORKOUT button. A user can stop a workout by pushing the END WORKOUT button; otherwise the cool down phasewill automatically begin. The program will designate a cool down time period in proportion to the amount of time spent inthe workout. Upon completion of cool down, a workout summary will appear, which includes the distance traveled, thetotal calories burned, average heart rate, average pace, and elapsed time. To exit the workout without a cool down,press the STOP button or select CHANGE WORKOUT, and then RESET.

WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS

QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. It bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. Onthe home screen, press the QUICK START button. The workout begins at an intensity level that remains the sameunless manually changed. To change the level, use the LEVEL ARROW keys or the NUMERIC KEYPAD to enter a high-er or lower level number. After the workout has been in progress for one minute, the touchscreen displays “ENTERWEIGHT FOR METS DISPLAY”. Press this button and use the numeric keypad or the UP and DOWN arrows to enterweight. Weight must be entered for METs to be computed and displayed.

The resistance level is set by default. To change the level and stay in the Workout Progress Screen, press the illuminat-ed ARROW KEYS on the Control Panel, corresponding to the LEVEL button. The Intensity Level can also be changedby touching the LEVEL button on the Touchscreen Display which accesses the NUMERIC KEYPAD.

CLASSIC WORKOUTS

MANUAL

The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level at any time.

RANDOM

The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million differ-ent patterns are possible.

HILL

The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods ofintense cardiovascular exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The CLASSIC PROFILE WIN-DOW represents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and val-leys. The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardiorespirato-ry improvement than steady-pace training.

The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The CLASSIC PROFILE WIN-DOW displays the progress of these phases. As noted in the descriptions below, the heart rate should be measured attwo stages in the workout to gauge its effectiveness. Wear the chest strap or continuously grip the Lifepulse handles.The Message Area does not display a request for a heart rate measurement, as it does with CARDIO, FAT BURN andthe HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING programs.

1 Warm-up is a phase of low, gradually rising resistance, which brings the heart rate into the lower end of the targetzone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles.

2 Plateau increases the intensity slightly, and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone.Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.

3 Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or stints of recovery. The heart rateshould rise to the high end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.

3 Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid, and other exercise by-prod-ucts, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.

Each column, as seen in the CLASSIC PROFILE WINDOW and the chart above, represents one interval. The overallduration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the durationof each interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout divided by 20.

27

1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the HILL program to complete allfour phases adequately. The program, therefore, condenses a workout of this duration at various stages.10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every minute over10, each interval increases by three seconds. A 15-minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.

20 to 99 minutes: All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration while the workout is inprogress, the program adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first eight intervals of the Interval Training phase.This pattern repeats until the workout is completed.

AEROBICS

In this workout, the user is prompted to switch between a high pedaling speed and a low pedaling speed. These speedintervals alternate in a pattern that promotes a “build-up” in the intensity of the workout, followed by a “build-down” inintensity.

The workout consists of 32 intervals, which are divided into groups of four. In the first group, the user encounters onefast interval followed by three slow intervals. The second group features two fast intervals followed by two slow intervals.The third group features three fast intervals followed by one slow interval. The fourth group, which is the most intensepoint of the workout, features four fast intervals. Afterward, the workout decreases in intensity, concluding with a group offour, consecutive, slow intervals. See the chart below:

The length of the intervals depends on the workout duration selected by the user.

HEART RATE + WORKOUTS

FAT BURN

FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of calories from fat. The user must wear a heartrate chest strap or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout program automatically adjusts theintensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum†.

CARDIO

CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total calories burned.The user must wear a heart rate chest strap or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout programautomatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoreti-cal maximum†.

HEART RATE HILL

This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default tar-get heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rateduring the workout setup. All hills and valleys are percentages of HRmax. The workout consists of three hills that targetthree heart rate goals: The first hill brings the heart rate to 70 percent of HRmax. The second hill increases the rate to75 percent of HRmax. The third hill matches the Target Heart Rate bringing the heart rate to 80 percent of HRmax. Thevalley always is defined as 65 percent of HRmax.

After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the userreaches 70 percent of HRmax, the hill continues for one minute. When the minute expires, the level decreases into avalley. Once the user's heart rate falls to 65 percent of HRmax, the valley continues for one minute. Then the next hillbegins with its corresponding heart rate goal. After the user completes the third hill/valley pair, the program returns to thefirst hill and repeats the cycle as long as the duration allows. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cooldown phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical maximum for more than 45 seconds, the bike automaticallygoes into pause mode. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.The user must wear a heart rate chest strap or grip the Lifepulse sensors throughout the workout.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 per-cent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117

HEART RATE INTERVAL

This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. Thedefault target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), but the user can adjust thetarget rate during the workout setup. The workout alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the targetrate of 80 percent of HRmax, and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 65 percent of HRmax. After a standardthree-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached, the hillcontinues for three minutes, after which the level decreases into a valley. Once the 65 percent of HRmax goal isreached, the valley continues for three minutes, after which the next hill begins. The user's fitness level determines thenumber of hills and valleys encountered within the duration. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cooldown phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical maximum† for more than 45 seconds, the bike automaticallygoes into pause mode. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.The user must wear a heart rate chest strap or grip the Lifepulse sensors throughout the workout.

EXTREME HEART RATE

This intense, varied workout is designed to help more experienced users break through fitness improvement plateaus.The workout alternates between two target heart rates* as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of runningsprints. The user must wear a chest strap or grip the LifepulseTM sensors throughout the workout.

When setting up the workout, the user enters a target heart rate. After a standard three-minute warm-up, the intensityincreases, until the user reaches the target heart rate goal of 85 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax). That tar-get rate is maintained for a stabilizing period. Then, the intensity decreases. When the heart rate falls to the 65 percentof HRmax goal, it is maintained there for a stabilizing period. The program repeats the alternating of intensity levels, con-tinuing this pattern throughout the duration. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reach-es the current goal.

† Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO workout is 144. This workouttargets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

HILL + WORKOUTS

The Life Fitness patented HILL + workouts give even more ways to vary interval training. Based on the same principlesas the CLASSIC HILL workout, Hill + workouts are customized to resemble different locations/training scenarios to addvariety and challenge to Hill workouts.

The AROUND THE WORLD workout is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of variousgeographical areas.

The CASCADES workout is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.

The FOOTHILLS workout is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.

The KILIMINAJARO workout is a hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peakand then gradually decline.

ADVANCED WORKOUTS

LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST

The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike Fit Test program is another exclusive feature. The Fit Test workout estimatescardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six weeks. The user mustgrasp the hand sensors when prompted or wear a heart rate chest strap, as the test score calculation is based on aheart rate reading. The workout duration will be five minutes at the chosen resistance level. Immediately afterward, theconsole will take the user's heart rate reading, calculate a fitness score, and display the score in the Message Area.

The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenat-ed blood to the exercising muscles, and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. Physicians andexercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity.

To set up the Fit Test:

• Begin pedaling.

• Choose ADVANCED, FIT TEST.

• Go through the setup screens for the Fit Test, including weight, age and gender. Press ENTER after each selec-tion to record the entry. (Gender does not require selecting ENTER afterwards.)

• The setup screen for a workout level will appear. (ENTER LEVEL). Consult the following recommended fit testlevel chart for an appropriate effort level based on age, gender and activity level. Press ENTER after the selection.

• As the test continues, a message will prompt the user to maintain a pedaling rate between 60-80 rpm. The usermust maintain this rate throughout the 5-minute test duration. After 16 seconds, if 60-80 rpm is not maintained, thefit test will automatically terminate.

After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score will be displayed.

FIT TEST PROGRAM SUGGESTED EXERTION LEVELS

Inactive Active Very Active

Exercise Bike L 4-6 men L 5-10 men L 8-14 men

Fit Test Level L 2-4 women L 3-7 women L 6-10 women

Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the Fit Test program. The goal is to elevate theuser's heart rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate (220-age). Within each sug-gested range, these additional guidelines can be used:

30

Lower Half of Range Upper Half of Range

higher age lower age

lower weight higher weight*

shorter taller

* In cases of excessive weight, use lower half of range.

The computer will not accept:

• heart rates less than 52 or greater than 200 beats per minute

• body weights less than 75 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 400 pounds (181 kg)

• ages below 10 or over 99 years

• data input that exceeds human potential

If an error is made when entering any Fit Test data, correct it by pressing CLEAR, inputting the correct information, andpressing ENTER.

It is important to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. Heart rate is dependent on many factors,including:

• amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)

• time of day

• time of last meal (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)

• time since last beverage containing caffeine or alcohol, or cigarette (at least four hours is recommended)

• time since last exercised (at least six hours is recommended)

For the most accurate Fit Test results, perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and average the three scores.

NOTE: To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is 60 percent to85 percent of the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax). This rate is defined by the American College of SportsMedicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual's age.

The tables below list fit test results.
